Due to a hamstring injury which has kept him out of training camp, New York Giants’ rookie WR Odell Beckham Jr. will not play this week against the Indianapolis Colts.
The news was reported by New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano via twitter.

Odell Beckham will not play Saturday, in Indy. "Not enough work (yet)," Coughlin said. They expect he'll play next week vs. Jets.

After being drafted in the first round by the Giants, Beckham has yet to see any real action in the pros.

According to FanSided, “[Beckham] was sidelined with a hamstring injury for the bulk of training camp and only returned to practice on Monday, so he is getting closer to making his NFL debut, but it looks like it will be next week after he gets his legs back underneath him and gets more reps in practice.”

Out of LSU, Beckham was able to catch 141 passes for 2,305 yards and 12 touchdowns through the air (57 catches, 1,117 yards and eight touchdowns during final season), while returning 58 punts for a 9.3 yards per return average and 40 kickoffs for a 25.1 yards per return average.
